Tue, 29 Jul 2014 19:35:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3507486Thanks to those who explained the rules regarding IR during training camp as opposed to the regular season….seems as though Carolina could have found some UDFA on their 80-man training camp roster to waive instead of Gaffney if they really needed another RB; but I guess that’s their business. And it is really just a lottery ticket for the Pats; a 6th round pick is not exactly gold even if he’s not injured.

But most of all, tough break for Gaffney; this guy was an absolute warrior on the Farm, and pretty much carried the team on his back all season, grinding out the tough yards; and he gets a serious injury his first week of camp.

Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:24:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3506109This is disappointing. What was the point of being deep at the running back position to go and do this? We have two over paid backs I guess 400k breaks the bank. Now we wasted a draft pick because we wanted to have a camp body that also probably won’t be on the team. Yeah this is business. But that right there was bad business and a complete waste of a pick.

We lost this kid because we tried to be too cheap and it bit us hard. I’m not buying generic at the store today because of this.

Tue, 29 Jul 2014 04:12:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3505677Belichick gets credit for smoke and mirrors from his Kool Aid drinking followers. All his trading up and down in the draft has not materialized in any recent gems more than any other middling team in the draft. He can’t draft a WR to save his life, but at the end if every draft people bow down to his genius.

This move will probably end up like the last one he did with Jake Ballard. Sorry, how many catches did Ballard have for Dr Evil’s team again?

Never should had been a TD! Saints where robbed!! It wasn’t a miracle TD! It was HOLDING OFFENSE!!

He was suckered in the Jake Ballard deal and now he loses the Panthers 6th round draft pick and nearly one hundred thousand dollars for one practice play at training camp. Gettleman has a plan…to run the Panthers franchise back to the Stone Age. Go Figure??????

While we constantly hear about how long it has been since they won a Super Bowl…..year in and year out the Pats are relevant, they are part of the conversation…..consistently challenging for the Super Bowl title…..isn’t that the mark of a true Championship team?

Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:27:55 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3505208Looks like a good RB. Last year he was 8th in the country in rushing yards, 5th in rushing TDs, 3rd in carries….Good baseball player, too.

Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:56:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3505044People can say what they want about the Patriots. They don’t like them because of one dumb reason or another about stuff they blow way out of proportion. Over the years small things become big things because they run out if excuses, like bringing up the injury thing. It was never proven and yet they still cry about it.

The truth is the New England Patriots are the best run organization from ownership down. People bring up Hernandez, but that situation was handled brilliantly by the team. It could of happened to anyone, get over that.

They are classy, keep things within the organization as it should be, they shouldn’t have to explain themselves to the haters and the media. They do things right and people can’t stand it, it’s sad actually.

I don’t give any credit for SB wins… and they have won nothing since being caught cheating… complete fraud org

Kraft is dirty….. BB is not a great coach….. all Brady

Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:51:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2270758#comment-3505033Basically the Pats claim a guy that may help next year. They will have to cut someone in camp to clear a spot. So one of the guys who is getting cut in a few weeks is gone now. Gaffney has more value than a guy like that so the Pats claimed him. The Panthers didn’t want to have to that conversation today, so they tried to sneak Gaffney through waivers instead. It didn’t work. They should have cut someone who is camp fodder and not risked it. They gambled wrong.
